^ I laughed my ass off at the line 25 seconds in. But yeah, this will most likely be a buy for me once I get my hands on a 360 again.

This and Jet Set Radio are the only things I'm looking forward to this year. That's if it comes out on time.

It looks like this is having the same amount of care and attention to detail put into it that the Sonic CD port did - and the sonic CD port was excellent.

All of Sega's xbla/psn ports have been excellent except Sonic Adventure. Which is no great loss.

Only the very recent titles have been any good. Daytona USA, Sonic CD, Virtual On and Virtua Fighter. Hopefully Jet Set Radio and NiGHTS will follow suit.

Everything before that is mediocre to just plain bad. Streets of Rage, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure, Space Channel, ugh, list just goes on and on.

What sucked about the Crazy Taxi port? I mean, I've only played the original arcade and Dreamcast versions, but I'm just curious.

The licensed music and brand names had to be removed, I didn't notice any gameplay flaws certainly compared to the other console ports. And Space Channel 5 part 2 played fine but the FMVs weren't upscaled.

I think I'll pass on this. I already own the game and Christmas NiGHTS on Saturn, and it just ain't gonna be the same without that delicious chunky analog stick.

But it's great that anyone who wants to play it will be able to now.

I'm a bit wary of this one, because the remake and port on the PS2 version were both wonky - the remake had horribly fucked-up control issues (bizarrely, they removed truly analogue control) and the port somehow had even more pop-up than it did on the original hardware.

It was still kind of worth it for the lovely storybook, though.
